It goes without saying that Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball has been the most highly-scrutinized player so far in the 2017-18 NBA season. However, it may have gotten a bit out of hand after this year's No. 2 overall pick in the draft got questions regarding his haircut earlier this week.
Teammate Andrew Bogut has been vocal about how ridiculous the attention surrounding Ball's new ‘do was. Which is why he did not hesitate to troll the media following tonight's 127-109 win over the Denver Nuggets, according to Ryan Ward of ClutchPoints.

Prior to the haircut, Lonzo Ball was in the midst of his roughest stretch of the season, which led many to believe he superstitiously cut his hair with the hope it would change things up. Although he has yet to come out of the woodwork, the Lakers rookie got back on the right track by tying Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James as the youngest players in NBA history to record multiple triple-doubles.
Ball finished with 11 points, 11 assists, and two blocks, while his 16 rebounds were the most by any rookie this season, and also tied the most by any first-year guard in 17 years. Although it was a much-needed win for the Lakers, tonight also provided a good start for Ball to get his confidence up on his shot.
